As part of its ongoing effort to "give guests the flavorful dishes they crave at a value they can get excited about," Applebee's has introduced its new Caprese Mozzarella Burger. Not only is the new menu item a tantalizing option for burger lovers, but the chain is also running a deal that allows customers to enjoy the burger alongside a second entree for one low price.
The new Caprese Mozzarella Burger is a hearty dish that consists of an all-beef patty made with sautéed garlic and onions and topped with balsamic aioli, grilled red onions, grilled tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil. The decadent new dish is part of the chain's 2 for $20 entrée lineup, which allows customers to order two full-sized entrees and an appetizer for one fixed price.
